I whipped these out in record time, taking less than 24 hours to make the second one. They don’t entail a lot of knitting, but that’s still fast for me.
Too bad I was so busy IMing Little Wit about how I was going to finish these socks today and how awesome I am to pay [...]

Holiday gift-making is in full swing here and I got a head start with gifts for our niece and nephew, who visit for Thanksgiving every year. We’ve gotten in the nice habit of having Christmas on Thanksgiving, and for our princess M, I made this:
Instructions can be found here. I didn’t think the ribbon would [...]

Through some cruel trick of scheduling, MD’s work schedule was changed to 2nd shift last week. And he’s working 6 days a week, with a 12 hour shift on Sunday. So the same week we lost daylight, I lost my adult backup. Totally not fair! (We just keep reminding ourselves of the overtime pay.)
I’ve been [...]

My friend D told me at first glance, this post scared her, because she thought I had succumbed to the urge to dress up Jamie’s Mr. Potato head in hand-crocheted duds. So she was relieved to read that in fact I am making preemie hats for the Ravelry group Knitters for Obama’s primary preemie hat [...]

I made these for my program coordinator because I wanted something special that would convey just how much I appreciate her. And if there’s anything to get me off my orange kick, this is it. I’ve always loved blue and silver together (they were our wedding colors, in fact) and now I want to [...]

I’m running out of it – time that is. I realized Sunday morning that despite my every attempt, I’ve come up against that point where the only way to get everything done is to not sleep until the day after Christmas.
Most things I can let go, except I’ve flubbed up Jamie’s christmas photo. Usually we [...]

Where are we GOING red car?
I don’t know yellow car.
Hey that was a boat driving!
Honk the horn!
Wow, that imagination of his is running wild these days.
I wasn’t planning on taking a blogging break, but I guess I did. I’ve been busy at work on homemade gifts, for the holidays and um, for myself. Yes, orange [...]

Here’s a lovely Christmas present for my sister. I’m doing her gifts first this year, so she won’t be getting things 6 months late.
Halfway through this scarf I realized I was making her something else with purple flowers, but hey, purple is her favorite color and I can’t seem to help myself. I’ll stop now [...]
